It must be said that Ye Bugui has a very good physique. He doesn't have the big muscles of a fitness instructor, but he still looks pleasing to the eye.
In the cultivation world, there's no concept of physical fitness. Lu Shi only felt that Ye Bugui's body was more robust than his appearance suggested, and he looked very powerful. If he were to cultivate Shaolin's unique skills, his future would be limitless.
Wearing a long black dress, Ye Bugui didn't dare look at herself in the mirror and could only ask Lu Shi:
"How do I look? Aren't I acting strange?"
Ye Bugui's face is very handsome, but his features are very strong, the kind of handsome and dashing appearance that parents would love.
His youthful demeanor was somewhat roguish, and neither of these traits suited him well with a dress.
He looks like a comedian who's deliberately trying to create a dramatic effect.
Lu Shi tried hard to suppress his laughter, but failed: "Haha, not surprising, I think...it's very good."
"Tsk tsk," Ye Bugui scoffed, and walked up to the mirror. One glance was enough for him to cover his still-blind eyes: "Demon Lord, your taste is so strange! Hurry up, I've already dressed up, it's your turn!"
Lu changed into a dress on short notice; he chose the white one.
Gao Yang's face was indeed quite delicate, and with her long hair, she even stunned Ye Bugui when she put on a dress.
Compared to Ye Bugui, Gao Yang is like a celestial being descended to earth.
Lu Shi could never have imagined that Ye Bugui was preoccupied with what would happen if Lu Shi wore that dress.
Lu Shi's features are much more beautiful than Gao Yang's. With his cool temperament, he would probably look like an ice queen if he wore a dress.
Ye Bugui shook his head violently. What was he thinking?
Should we go?
"Let's go!" Lu Shi had regained control of Gao Yang's body. It was unclear whether Gao Yang was completely desperate or he was satisfied with the current situation.
This time, Gao Yang's parents did not scream hysterically when they saw their son dressed as a woman.
They were just feeling a little uncomfortable and didn't even know what to say.
"Uncle, Aunt," Ye Bugui spoke again, and when the two saw Ye Bugui's appearance, their expressions immediately became comical. "With me here, no one will gossip about Gaoyang."
"Thank you, thank you." His mother gritted her teeth, walked up to Lu Shi, and took his hand. "Just this once, don't dress like this again. Mom will make you a big meal when you come back tonight. Happy birthday, Yangyang."
The stranger's hand was warm, and Lu Shi didn't feel as uncomfortable as he had imagined.
So this is what a mother is like?
"Mm." Lu Shi smiled and let go of her hand.
He and Ye Bugui ran downstairs.
They ran wildly, attracting the attention of countless people.
It seemed someone was pointing at them and saying, "Look, there are two men over there wearing skirts!"
"A man and a woman, I think? The one in the white dress is quite pretty!"
"These young couples nowadays, how come they're so extravagant!"
"There were two men, I even saw their faces! It's a pity I didn't take a picture!"
"That's pretty brave!"
Ye Bugui ran ahead, turned around and laughed heartily: "When we get to school, if anyone dares to laugh at you, I'll punch them right away!"
Lu Shi nodded. Ye Bugui's involvement had indeed changed the course of the dream.
Outside of the dream, a tear fell onto the phone screen, only to be absorbed by the screen in an instant.
Chapter 35
☪ Good Family Apartment 10
"Gao Yang! Ye... Ye Bugui!" The homeroom teacher stared at Ye Bugui's face, hesitated for a long time before calling out his name: "You two, why are you so late!"
As soon as they arrived at the school gate, the two were stopped by their furious homeroom teacher.
Lu Shi and Ye Bugui exchanged a glance. It seemed like they hadn't experienced being scolded by their elders in a long time.
Fortunately, both of them remained calm and played the role of students. They glanced obediently at their homeroom teacher and nodded, saying, "Teacher, we were wrong."
"Never mind!" The homeroom teacher seemed to only now realize what they were wearing: "Wait, why are you two wearing skirts!"
As usual, Ye Bugui stood enthusiastically in front of Lu Shi and started chatting nonsense with the homeroom teacher:
"Isn't the theme of our cultural festival about being yourself and having freedom? I've always felt that we men should also have the freedom to wear skirts! We should even have the freedom to wear makeup..."
The homeroom teacher clearly didn't want to listen to Ye Bugui's continued nonsense. He then looked at Gao Yang, who was wearing a skirt and saying nothing, and suddenly found her much more pleasing to the eye.
"Gao Yang, I know you were forced to dress like this by Ye Bugui. Sigh, I've told you all before, good students, stay away from him!"
After Ye Bugui had walked a distance, he clicked his tongue and kicked a pebble into the trash can: "That's it! I knew it. I'd be a bad student no matter where I am. But why do even the teachers discriminate against us bad students in this dungeon?"
Lu Shi could understand Ye Bugui's complaints. This phenomenon also existed in the cultivation world; masters would prefer students with talent.
But Lu Shi always felt that talent had absolutely nothing to do with a person's character.
"You're quite proud of being a bad student."
Lu Shi had already gotten used to seeing Ye Bugui in skirts, but the other classmates hadn't.
Since they entered the school, they've attracted a lot of attention.
Strangely, those people only dared to watch them from afar or point at them with their fingers, but no one dared to come over and mock them to their faces.
Lu Shi could easily guess that it was because he had a school bully by his side.
Meanwhile, our school bully, Ye Bugui, was very careful, looking at her slightly short skirt as if afraid of getting it dirty:
"If I were a good student like Gao Yang, we would probably have been splashed with water right now."
Ye Bugui had good hearing; the two people who had just passed by were mocking them for being perverts.
“That’s true.” Lu Shi admitted this directly: “If Gao Yang had had someone standing by his side back then, this might not have happened.”
"Hmm." Ye Bugui tried to put his hands in his pockets, but then realized he was wearing a skirt, so he put his hands behind his neck instead. "But now we're here, aren't we? If we change his dream, maybe he can rest in peace."
Lu Shi immediately stopped in his tracks. He stared at Ye Bugui and asked, "Do you think Gao Yang is dead?"
"Just a guess." Ye Bugui maintained his smug pose. "I think the people in that apartment aren't human. Of course, I might be wrong."
“I don’t think so.” After Lu Shi finished speaking, he saw Ye Bugui turn to look at him: “But I don’t have any reason, it’s just a feeling. I don’t think he has any ill intentions towards me.”
“Lu Shi,” Ye Bugui stood in front of him and said very seriously, “Although you keep saying that you are the Demon Lord, I think you are too kind. Don’t forget the rules. Roommates are also dangerous to us. Even if Gao Yang himself has no ill intentions towards you, you cannot go in front of him.”
“I know.” Lu Shi didn’t think Ye Bugui was making a mountain out of a molehill: “I won’t do anything stupid.”
"Hmm," Ye Bugui slowed his pace, "The playground is just ahead. Our appearance will probably cause quite a stir!"
The playground was already packed with students, many of whom were wearing anime character headgear or game character costumes.
At first glance, it looks like a comic convention.
But when Lu Shi and Ye Bugui appeared in the public eye, almost everyone's eyes were drawn to them, including the principal who was standing on the stage, preparing to give a speech.
Even without exceptional hearing, one could clearly hear the surrounding chatter at that moment, because their voices were incredibly loud:
"Is that Gao Yang from Class 8?"
"Wow, is it really him? He looks quite pretty in a dress, no wonder he always keeps his hair long."
"Pretty? You're disgusting! A man with long hair wearing a skirt, I just want to throw up!"
"There's someone else with Gao Yang. Who is that? I don't think I've seen him before."
"It looks like Ye something, Gao Yang's deskmate. Wow, both of them are wearing skirts, could they be a couple?"
"Pah!" Yang Yi, dressed in camouflage, was in the crowd; in his opinion, it was the coolest look. "These two are disgusting; they're a disgrace to us men!"
Those surrounding Yang Yi were all his lackeys, who immediately chimed in obsequiously:
"That's right, no wonder Gao Yang wrote you a love letter before, he must admire your masculinity!"
"And that Ye Bugui, I never expected her to look like that, and she's a woman too! If you ask me, why don't we take care of them together later!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Tao nodded excitedly, then unconsciously started rubbing his fists: "I've been itching to use my hands lately, so I'll take it out on these two punching bags!"
Yang Yi snorted coldly: "Don't mention the love letter he wrote me, I feel ashamed! After school today, nobody's leaving, we brothers can vent our anger!"
Of course, among all the students standing on the playground, there was still a small number who understood and even admired Lu Shi and Ye Bugui.
But their voices were too soft and were quickly drowned out by malicious jeers.
Ye Bugui even heard someone suggest rushing over and ripping off their skirts.
He was really curious to see if these people had the guts, so he could give them a good beating.
"It's hard to imagine what Gao Yang faced when he walked in here alone."
Lu Shi remained unmoved by the curses. He had been cursed by countless people before, and he didn't even consider this level of malice a big deal.
But Gao Yang wasn't him, and Ye Bugui wasn't by his side at the time, so the insults would probably have been even harsher.
Was it at that time that Gao Yang broke down?
Lu Shi shook his head again; this didn't make sense. He felt as if he had overlooked a very important piece of information.
While he was still in a daze, Ye Bugui had already grabbed his hand and dragged him to their classroom.
During this time, they passed in front of many people, and the girl at most showed an uncomfortable expression on her face, but didn't say anything.
But boys are different; they might even be tempted to lift up the two girls' skirts or trip them up.
"Let go." Ye Bugui saw someone grabbing Lu Shi's skirt, and his fingers cracked. "Otherwise, I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow."
The murderous intent in Ye Bugui's eyes was too strong, and how could a group of middle school students resist? They immediately cowered.
With Ye Bugui by his side, Lu Shi was able to safely return to his class's camp.
However, Lu Shi and Ye Bugui soon discovered that their classmates were not very welcoming to them.
"You guys..." Several male students frowned, but they couldn't start fighting amongst themselves, otherwise they would become a laughing stock in the whole school: "Are you crazy! Wearing skirts, you've made our class lose all face!"
"Really?" Ye Bugui was like a hedgehog, refusing to tolerate them: "If I wear makeup to school next time, are you going to be so angry that you hang yourself at the classroom door!"
The man probably hadn't expected Ye Bugui to be so argumentative, and had no choice but to admit defeat: "You, you still have the nerve! Neither of you are men!"
